Overview

  • Collinsella vaginalis is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, strictly anaerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. Collinsella vaginalis is probably a rare gut coloniser.



  • This organism has been recovered from the vagina. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
